  • Question 1 asks you to list four things about a certain topic from a specific part of the source
  • Questions might revolve around character or setting
  • This question assesses the ability to identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas
  • Students often lose marks for not choosing their answers from the specified part of the text (in this case, lines 1 to 7)
  • Draw a box around the part of the text you're asked to refer to, to avoid writing about the wrong section
  • Keep the answer simple by finding four simple points
  • You can write in your own words or use direct quotations from the text
  • Start each answer with the words "brightly" or "he" to stay focused on the task
  • Retrieving information directly from the text is more effective than trying to interpret it
  • Avoid trying to infer or analyze the information, stick to explicit points
  • Misinterpreting the text can lead to losing marks, so be careful with your answers
  • For example, in the text, "brightly coughs," writing "brightly was sick" would not be awarded marks
  • Ensure your answers are based on the wording of the question and the specified lines in the text
